Re-opening Universities During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Light of Students Needs and Perspectives
摘要
This study aimed to highlight students’ perceptions and needs who were attending Jordan University of Science and Technology during the pandemic, in addition to the safety precautions that were adopted by the Jordanian government as a step to resuming face-to-face education on campus. Moreover, the study did highlight the students’ needs for face-to-face schooling continuity during the crisis. A qualitative approach-based study was conducted by managing fifteen face-to-face interviews among students at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) in Irbid–Jordan. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic approach. As the participants expressed their perceptions of the re-opening of educational institutions, most of them reported their fear of spreading the infection to their families, thus, constantly making use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) efficiently.
